RZA's beats seep into the game itself, with the music affecting enemy AI and altering the gameplay's tone.

This is one of the best games I've played in a good long while. With the abundance of blood, f-bombs galore, and the occational naked from the waist up "crazy female ninja", the game is well deserving of its M rating.
The voice acting was surperb - not worthy of an Oscar - but Samuel L ...more
